First edition.Arthur Train was a Harvard-educated and well-respected attorney. He was also a best-selling author. Train's greatest literary creation was the character Ephraim Tutt, a public-spirited attorney and champion of justice. Guided by compassion and a strong moral compass, Ephraim Tutt commanded a loyal following among general readers and lawyers alike—in fact, Tutt's fictitious cases were so well-known that attorneys, judges, and law faculty cited them in courtrooms and legal texts. People read Tutt's legal adventures for more than twenty years, all the while believing their beloved protagonist was merely a character and that Train's stories were works of fiction.Condition:Corners gently bumped, some light stains to page ends offset darkening to front end papers, many pages still unopened, head corners gently bumped else a…

Santa Barbara, CA: Black Sparrow Press, 1982. First, signed edition. Condition: Near fine in clear acetate dust jacket as issued by the publisher. A few very light bumps at corners, small mark at bottom corner of a few pages around the middle of the books, could be ink bleed. Acetate dust jacket has slight rubbing. Signed by Bowles and numbered, number 233 of 350 copies.Synopsis: Set in Fez, Morocco, during that country's 1954 nationalist uprising, The Spider's House is perhaps Paul Bowles' most beautifully subtle novel, richly descriptive of its setting, and uncompromising in its characterizations. Exploring once again the dilemma of the outsider in an alien society, and the gap in understanding between cultures—recurrent themes of Bowles' writings—The Spider's House is dramatic, brutally honest, and shockingly relevant to today's political situation in the Middle East and elsewhere.

St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
